WINTER TRIP 2018
We headed south at the end of January 2018. Our journey took us down
through
the Delaware-Maryland-Virginia peninsula looking for a few fireboats and sights
along the way.
Somewhere around Easton, MD we encountered one
of the most spectacular "natural"
sights we have encountered. Thousands, probably tens of thousands, of Canadian
Snow Geese were flying in a massive cloud known as a "murmuration."
It was absolutely amazing to watch!
We took the Chesapeake Bay Bridge across to the Norfolk area for a visit.
Then we headed south for Florida.
